This year's event will feature live bands, dinner, drinks, tons of swag for attendees to take home, and the opportunity to help the community's homeless animals find their forever homes. This event has a purpose — saving homeless cats and dogs. As the only licensed no-kill, nonprofit animal shelter in the area, FAPS relies solely on donations from people to help give deserving cats and dogs a second chance. They are committed to continuing this work until there are no more animals needing to be saved. This fundraising event is for adults 18 years of age and older. All of FAPS' other events are great for all ages. Although they are rais- ing money for pets, animals are not allowed to this particular event unlike their other FAPS events.
